VentureBeat has word that all or part of the PC edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is in the hands of pirates after being stolen from a warehouse. The explanation of what was taken is a little vague: "Evidently, pirated discs began to spread quickly after an employee at a shipping warehouse (run by a huge shipping company) in Fresno, Calif., stole one disc. Itís not clear how many full copies spread this way, as the disc that was stolen was apparently Disc 2 of a two-disk set for the PC. Security may have been too tight for the thief to steal the other disc."

Guessing this is the real holdup for HL3, they know that HL2 EP2 showed the engine to be a dead end. No amount of art expertise you throw at it will make it look even HALF as good as any decent/recent full DX10 only game

I reject your premise. EP2 looked fine for a 2007 game, even having a lighting system that produced cool shadows without sacrificing 20fps to do it. Frankly EP2 is still a better game than most of the crap FPS games I've played since then.
